Career

Gallimore was born in East Vale, Longton, Staffordshire. He played local football before signing for Stoke in 1903.[2] After playing 77 league games for Stoke he joined Sheffield United in 1908, but failed to establish himself, and signed for Second Division club Birmingham in 1910.[2] He began the 1910–11 season in the starting eleven at outside left, but lost his place in December 1910 and rarely played again.[3] He moved back to non-league football with Leek in 1911.[2]

Gallimore died in Stoke-on-Trent in 1949 aged about 63.[2]
